Rabbi Yaakov Yosef (Yaakov Chai ben Margalit), son of the well-known posek, Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, is seriously ill. I read an article about him and his positive attitude about his illness and how he is doing his best to keep up with his daily schedule and fortify his bitachon.
He says that his doctor explained the slim odds of surviving this disease and how the chances of recovery are between 3 and 5%. This irreligious doctor then told him a most astonishing thing. He said, "In the Torah-observant community, the statistics are completely different. These numbers have no effect on you. You have your faith and your prayers, and your chances of recovery are different. We see more miracles in your sector of the population than with any other patients."
May he have a refuah shleima.
